What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28
Too early to adopt
- Why
- Tiny ~180-186 byte signatures are attractive, but a Round 3 candidate with multivariate risk, no FIPS, and a ~2-year horizon is not a production primitive for a hybrid-signature trust root.
- Next
- Keep ML-DSA-65 as the standardized signature primitive (per Rule #2); monitor NIST Round 3 outcomes for MAYO as a potential compact-signature alternative if/when standardized.
